Keeping leading zeros in Microsoft Excel
There are situations where you need leading zero in your data. For instance, product codes (SKU) or ZIP codes.
For example, when copy and pasting “0800” into Excel, it will be converted to “800”.
That’s because when you copy and paste this data into Microsoft Excel, by default Excel tries to parse the value according to that cells format. Therefore, Excel recognizes data as numeric and strip out the leading zero.
